this is an awesome cookie recipe. took me a while to get it just right. i use a wheat free flour blend - but you can make it with regular flour just as well. they are pretty healthy too. low in sugar - high in fiber. i recommend using raw turbinado sugar - it really enhances the flavor. another tip: i use raw, chunky almond butter in this recipe - and i like to use high quality, 70% dark chocolate and chop it up myself for the cookies. also, unsweetened flake coconut is best - these cookies are sweet enough. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups oats |
3/4 cup flour (regular or wheat free blend) |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup raw sugar (or brown) |
1/2 cup ground flax seeds |
1/4 cup oil |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
1/4 cup soymilk |
1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut butter) |
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chunk |
1/2 cup flaked coconut (optional) |
1/4 cup dried tart cherry (optional) |
Directions:
1. combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
2. then add all wet ingredients and stir.
3. add the chocolate chunks and optional stir-ins.
4. form into 2 inch balls and smash them down on the cookie sheet.
5. bake at 350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes.
6. allow them to cool a few minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring them to a plate.
7. note: if you use a gluten free flour blend, add in about 1/4 teaspoons xanthan gum to help hold everything together. i like to use a blend of rice flour, tapioca flour and potato flour - seems to work well.
